New Nike Ads

So Nike has been airing their new ads with LeBron James. In these ads, LeBron is shown as four different characters: himself, a little kid (which is LeBron’s head on a little kid’s body), an old man, and young stylish looking gentlemen (who is always getting hazed for being more concerned about his looks then basketball). I haven’t been able to figure what there message is, but my guess is that the new LeBron Nike shoes are made for all ages and styles? What I like most is the little LeBron. Something about a grown man’s head shrunken down to a little kid’s body is hilarious. Then I couldn’t help but reminisce about the good old days when Penny Hardaway did ads for Nike and were perhaps the best of all time. These ads featured popular Orlando Magic point-guard Penny Hardaway and a string puppet voiced by SNL’s Chris Rock. Unfortunately, this was the last time Chris Rock was funny. Just see for yourself
